Man dead after firing at plainclothes Baltimore officers
Baltimore police officers responding to the sound of gunshots fatally shot a man who fired at them with an AR-15 style rifle, authorities said Friday.
“We’re lucky we don’t have four dead cops right now,” Commissioner Kevin Davis said at a news conference,
There is no evidence so far that Dayten Ernest Harper ambushed the officers, Davis said.
The FBI had alerted law enforcement agencies throughout Maryland on Thursday that Black Guerrilla Family gang members had talked about ambushing police after last week’s sniper attack in Dallas.
